Thanos did his MSc thesis on developing a framework for the generalization of SoilGrid maps, according to the user's zoom level. Guidance and scientific support were provided by Gerard Heuvelink (ISRIC) and Sytze de Bruin (GRS, WUR).

Susanne did her MSc study at the Soil Geography and Landscape Group of Wageningen University. During her internship with WenR (formerly Alterra, WUR) and ISRIC, she investigated the benefit of using legacy soil data in addition to 'contemporary' soil data for updating the national soil map of the Netherlands using digital soil mapping.  Her work was supervised by Dick Brus (WenR) and Bas Kempen (ISRIC).

Soufiane came to ISRIC to contribute to the Green Water Credits for Algeria Algeria as well as the RECARE project. His work was supervised by Godert van Lynden and Thomas Caspari. 

Siyu studied Geo-information Science at Wageningen University. Her MSc-research was on 'Digital Soil Mapping for Africa'. She analysed the usefulness of various statistical models to establish the relationship between the dependent variable (soil property) and explanatory variables (environmental covariates). Guidance was provided by Gerard Heuvelink.

Sabastine worked on Functional Digital Soil Mapping for the prediction of available water capacity in Nigeria The findings of his MSc study were published in the Vadose Zone Journal. Scientific support was provided by Hannes Reuter.

Liesbeth did her internship on the Green Water Credits program working on the Upper Tana basin project area in Kenya. Scientific support was provided by Sjef Kauffman and David Dent.

Job did his MSc thesis on the 'spatial prediction of the availability of zinc for plant uptake'. For this, he used a prediction model based on soil data from IFDC, his own soil analyses, the QUEFTS model (nutrient uptake + growth) and, where possible, environmental covariates. His case study focused on Rwanda. He was supervised by Ellis Hoffland (Soil Quality, WUR) and Bas Kempen (ISRIC).
